im fairly new to bikes but a complete adrenaline junkie therefore two bikes down the line ive quickly progressed to needing to be riding the likes of a speed triple. all the articles and reviews on it seem to imply its a great hooligan bike especially good at doing tricks such as stoppies and wheelies! great...but i dont know where to start to try and do either and therefore have done abit of research and discovered the exisitence of stoppie and wheelie schools! :-D well no prizes where ill be heading as soon as iget my bike lol... these schools teach you on their own bikes which are fitted with special frames to avoid inadvertent tip-ups and they virtually guarantee they'll have you weeling to your hearts content by the end of the day...brilliant. anyone else out there from england obviuoulsywho'd be interested in joining me.... i can just envisage this group of speedtriple all turning up at the wheelie school in hte morning and leaving doing wheelies all the way home lol would make great article entry for rat magazine. so i call on all 05 s3 owners to join me for a great day out

I think I read somewhere that the Keith Code Wheelie Schools here in the US are standardising on S3's.

funny thing, i have spent most of today doing wheelies and bumps on my triple, trying to shake the clay off the plough

my triple by the way is a massy ferguson. to do a wheely, all i have to do is wind it up to 700 rpm and let out the clutch with a slight jerk. with th eweight of the plough that will lift the front wheels a couple of feet then when it bumps down the clay soil falls off the plough.
